Quotations.

Chicago. Sept 2l.-An the markets opened
even lower to-day than the cholera scare OF
yesterday sent them. The selling OF both
corn and wheSt during the first hour was
very persistent, and the combined efforts
kept prices down until toward noon, when
the crowd began picking up small lots, caus-
ing prices to advance somewhat. While the
exporters were not buying as on yesterday,
the continuous picking up of small lots by
several houses which has kept up for the
past ten days began to attract some atten-
ton, and it is probable that the purchases
are made for the purpose of old wheat IN
store available for shipping purposes. oc-
tober opened at 697Sc, sold at zoe, then down
to 695sc, and about noon advanced TO 1e14c.

727se down to 725sc, and firmed
up 10 73c. May sold at 7Sc
to open, then up to 7SIs@7S14c down
to 7754c, and later reacted with others sell

May to 444c. Later in the day there was
